Booted by Clover 5144 with ProvideCurrentCpuInfo Quirk enabled my Ryzen 1700X hackintosh can use brief kernel patches now.

Unfortunately three patches changed from 8-cores to 6-cores and booted by Clover 5144 with ProvideCurrentCpuInfo Quirk enabled my FX-6300 hackintosh can not use brief kernel patches at Big Sur & Catalina, etc. which seems only working at Monterey.

I don't know the reason why.

[Solved]

1. For those can not be booted by brief kernel patches in my FX-6300 hackintosh due to two reasons:

(1) The System Version changed to 10.13.6 instead of 10.15.7 or 11.6.x

(2) I need fix one patch's MatchOS to 11.x,12.x

Are these kernel patches need enabled ProvideCurrentCpuInfo Quirks ?

So is a better "SMBIOS" definable? 😅

Yes, definitely.

Select one of SMBIOS from PlatformSupport.plist and test whether it's fully compatible to your need.

I solved it by changing the SMBIOS from iMac 19.2 to iMac 18.3. Not yes why. Anyone explain it? 🤔

In Clover different SMBIOS acts differently: compatible one can boot and update successfully and mildly incompatible one can boot only.

Totally incompatible one can not boot at all !

We can get the information from /System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist from different MacOS versions.

That's my past experience for hackintoshs for more than 10 years.

Hi all, I have the ongoing reboot issue under discussion for the update from 12.0.1 to 12.1.0. My processor is Intel. The problem I have with Clover 5143, which is the latest version.

You say it's a Clover problem?

Yes, it only occurs in my FX-6300 hackintosh if booted by Clover 5141/5142/5143, no such an issue if booted by OpenCore. No such an issue in my Z370 hackintosh either by Clover.

Could you identificate from which Clover Version this fact happens?

 

I have tested till Clover R5124 and all are affected of this problem

 

I think it is not only a clover problem..also kernel patches are involved

But, in opencore we never had this TSC mismatch problem

 

In both Clover and OpenCore I never had this issue except reboot loop issue only in Clover.

Actually your added 3 kernel patches I had applied in FX-6300 hackintosh already that means it can not fix my reboot loop issue.

@jsl2000config.plist I posted to you is working well in your opinion in opencore?

no double speed animations?

if so your CPU 1700x acts in a different way

In Opencore you should disable three old patches I have put in your config and use only the quirk (quirk has better and newer method to patch)

For FX CPU you can try and see...

thank you again for sharing also your experiences

 

Yes, confirmed that no double speed animations in OpenCore 0.7.6 with or without ProvideCurrentCpuInfo Quirk.

This issue only in Clover if BusFrequency is not correctly set.

15 minutes ago, fabiosun said:

no @jsl2000clover bootloader does not have that quirk

and this is a problem for AMD users

 

try to run this from terminal and see different without adding manually any frequency or tsc value:

sysctl -a | grep freq

 

and if you can compare it with both boot loader and also with old OSX

 

Yes, I have compared them with different bootloaders & MacOS versions at terminal and that's why I have found in Clover I need edit BusFrequency, but in OpenCore it's consistent without changes. Now I have got stable config.plists with & without ProvideCurrentCpuInfo quirk in OpenCore 0.7.6. I hope I can figure out how to fix it in FX-6300 reboot loop issue as soon as possible because FX-6300 must disable ProvideCurrentCpuInfo quirk.

Thank you to try and to confirm this

I have added patches 3, 13 and 14 in your opencore config.plist

Then I have disabled ProvideCurrentCpuInfo

 

So, in this way have you  weird animation and behaviour also in Opencore now?

 

No, booted by OpenCore 0.7.6 seems fully normal but booted by Clover 5143 I must adjust BusFrequency according to MacOS version.

In Monterey it should be 200000 and in other MacOS (10.13.6 ~ Big Sur) it should be 100000 otherwise audio output will be abnormal because it was double speed like. Both bootloaders can disable ProvideCurrentCpuInfo without issue in Ryzen 1700X hackintosh.

backup yours and try this if you like:

OK it can boot by OC 0.7.6 now.

Did you just adjust the order of kernel patches or change something else in my previous config.plist ?

What should I find the difference from previous config.plist ?

I'm trying to learn some new knowledge from you.

@jsl2000

if you can and if you want

post a working config.plist working for you in clover and in opencore

only the patches you use I mean

I will try to adapt it for you ( I think you did well, only to verify again it)

 

Both config.plist are attached.

I have put the two I need in 7 and 8 position if you use entire sixteen Opencore patches

 

 

I do not need of topology patch both in clover and Opencore to boot

 

Put them as yours still got the same freeze at the same location.

Maybe due to the difference between our hardware (AMD Threadripper 3970x vs. Ryzen 1700X).

10 minutes ago, fabiosun said:

Yes it should be it

in clover we use an older one because that one is not compatible with clover masking feature

It is sure that others two  patches create problems in clover and latest OS X 

also in older OS X but  with less and clear damages

Unfortunately it still got the same freeze with this one patch plus the other two patches.

Is there specific order for these three kernel patches ?

I put them in the first three patches.

Hi @jsl2000

cpu topology patch is not that one

you have to find the last published for opencore bootloader 

it was simpler one like a replace with only a C3 as value

i didn’t need of it and I have not backupped it sorry

however this try is useful only to double check my discover

not useful to solve problems in clover.

if clover dev doesn’t implement well opencore way… we have to leave Clover🥲

Do you mean this one ?

@jsl2000our problems in Clover Bootloader are here:

algrey - Remove Penryn check to execute default case - 10.13/10.15/11.0/12.0
algrey - tsc_init - grab DID and VID from MSR

 

to have a confirm you can use these two patches in Opencore (In a proper way ) and disable ProvideCurrentCPUquirk

You may have also need of CPU topology disable patch (I do not need of it)

 

you will see also in Opencore weird animation and double speed in some condition

 

SO our only chance is to convince Clover Devs to implement that opencore quirk!

 

Thanks and do you mean I can disable ProvideCurrentCPUquirk and enable these two patches only ?

Or I need also disable CPU topology patch too ?

Unfortunately if I disable ProvideCurrentCPUquirk and enable these three patches it always freeze before +++++++++++++++++ appears.

Problem should be the reason why clover does in this way and from what clover commit

 

Unfortunately this issue did not solved by Clover 5143 !

Clover:

 

Opencore:

 

A big problem in Clover (tested also in latest Clover boot loader commit)

 

This problem cause also a big instability in my rig on Monterey greater then 12.01 with big problem in graphics animation and also in wifi disconnection and GPU Performance (50% lower)

 

In 12.01 only lower GPU Performance (about 10% less)

 

Same clover config.plist often hangs in osx 12.1 or greater

 

I found that in my AMD hackintoshs (FX-6300 & Ryzen 1700X) this value ( BusSpeedkHz) will affect the following:

1. Stability of Audio/video output

2. Performance scores of cinebench & geekbench

3. Panic or reboot before login to desktop during booting of Clover

4. Response of sleep/wake-up functions

For example:

In my Ryzen 1700X hackintosh I found it should be set BusSpeedkHz=200010 (or 200001 to 202000) to get stable both audio and video output as well as better score in Cinebench R20. Exactly 200000 will get instant reboot before login desktop. But only set to 100000 can get normal sleep/wake-up function unfortunately with unstable audio/video play in Firefox and very poor performance score by cinebench R20 !

In my FX-6300 hackintosh I must set config.plist->CPU->BusSpeedkHz=200000 to get the correct frequency for audio output without crack.

Just for your reference.

hi, you know, I worked hard to get the patches Github back on for Clover as well

But today Clover's situation is very confusing

For that, perhaps, it is better to wait until they copy all the parts of Opencore better such as the ProvideCurrentCpuInfo quirk which is not currently implemented

Thanks and I had the same opinion in Clover there's no complete integration of all Quirk from current OpenCore yet !

Clover 5142 has many problems for all and overall fo AMD Users

In my case system does not start always in 12,1  but it works in 12.01

In 12.1 if it does not start it ends with a black screen , instead when it starts well, inside osx all dock animation are with double speed and GPU Performance are a mess!

 

Thanks for your sharing of your experience of Clover 5142.

However booting with Clover 5141 I got the same issue of reboot loop in FX-6300 hackintosh too !

I had a very strange problem in my FX-6300 hackintosh. Unable to update from Monterey 12.0 to 12.1 or from Big Sur 11.6.1 to 11.6.2: It's Macintosh HD always got reboot loop. The only solution is got updated Macintosh HD from other hackintoshs, then it can reboot 3 times successfully to newer version. No such an issue in my Ryzen 1700X hackintosh with both OpenCore 0.7.6 and Clover 5141.

[Solved on 2021-11-22]
This  issue was solved by the following method:

(1) OpenCore 0.7.5

(2) SMBIOS=MacPro7,1
(3) SecureBootMode=j160 To get updated Macintosh HD at first
(4) SecureBootMode=Disabled To reboot for 3 times and complete update process without reboot loop now !

[Waiting for solution]
I don't know why using the similar method of HWTarget in Clover 5142 did not work for me.

My Clover's config.plist and EFI are attached here.

May I know your another AMD hackintoshs (Asrock Fatal1ty 990fx, Amd FX 8350 4.6 ghz, AMD r9 270x 2gb x2 in CrossfireX) can boot Big Sur & Monterey too ? With OpenCore or Clover ? Can you share its config.plist for reference ?

@jsl2000

If I have understood well your problem

You have had a working system (1700x CPU) working both with Clover 5141 and Opencore 0.7.x

Then, you have updated your motherboard bios

Set back all options in it in the same way you had before

Now no boot loaders work for you

 

If so, for you is not a boot loader problem (5142 has many problems but it is unrelated ,I think, for your actual problem)

 

I will double check bios option and I will reset Cmos and then I would try again with my latest working EFI with a previously checked and working OS (not latest beta)

 

No, after update BIOS only OpenCore 0.7.6 or 0.7.5 still working perfectly, but failed of Clover 5141 or 5142. For clover 5141 It can past ++++++, then frozen after something. So I guess I need modify something in Clover's config.plist.

sorry @jsl2000

last thing could be to try to reset your motherboard Cmos

but I have no good idea

I can say Clover 5142 has many problems

with clover 5141 it is mandatory to disable Resize bar in bios settings

 

Thanks, but I can not find the option for Resize bar in my MB's BIOS settings.

Is it present in more modern MB for Intel 9th/10th generation & AMD TRX40 MB ?

In my Z490 hackintoshs it's located in Advanced> PCI Subsystem

Mine is ASUS Crosshair VI Hero which was produced in 2018.

I can disable ResizeAppleGpuBars in Booter & ResizeGpuBars in UEFI with Clover 5141.
